    I finally have a cool idea for a casting. Not really useful or anything, but cool I think. And it'll be a fun experiment. I'll reveal it when I have a chance to get this thing put together and I find someone with a wood shop I can use to made the mold. Hopefully I can pull this off.

    Also, I found graphite crucibles on Amazon and Ebay for only $20-$30. I'd get one of these before trying to cut up an old fire extinguisher. And I plan on building a propane forge instead of the charcoal one - we'll see.

    If you're offering to sell or give them to me to cut up and use as a crucible, I do appreciate it, but it would cost me $10 to drive there and back and I don't get up that way very often. I'd rather just buy one for $20 that I don't have to cut, etc., have it delivered to my door and use it right out of the box. Maybe some other flat-lander can use them though.
